Overview
The Amada HG-8025 is an 80-ton, 2500 mm hybrid servo press brake from Amada, the Japanese leader in sheet metal fabrication machinery. The HG series uses a hybrid hydraulic-servo drive — the ram is driven by servo motors through a hydraulic transmission, combining servo precision and repeatability with the high-force capability of hydraulic actuation. The HG-8025 achieves angular repeatability of ±0.3° due to Amada's AMNC 3i control with bidirectional angle measurement, which automatically compensates for springback variation between material batches. The machine features a 6-axis backgauge with ±0.01 mm positioning accuracy, enabling complex multi-step bend sequences for enclosures, brackets, and structural channel profiles. Amada's AMNC 3i control supports offline programming from AP100US CAD/CAM software, enabling programs to be prepared while the machine is running another job. The HG-8025 is widely used in North American sheet metal fabrication shops for its combination of Japanese build quality, servo precision, and Amada's extensive North American service network.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Hybrid servo-hydraulic delivers servo precision with hydraulic force capability
- Amada AMNC 3i with 3D simulation enables visual part program verification
- 6-axis backgauge with ±0.01 mm accuracy enables complex multi-step programs
- Bidirectional angle measurement compensates for springback variation
- Amada's North American service network provides rapid technical response
Limitations
- Hybrid drive more complex than simple hydraulic machines — higher maintenance knowledge required
- Amada tooling system proprietary — Amada European-style not interchangeable with Wilson tools
- 80-ton capacity suitable for light-to-medium gauge — not for heavy structural bending
- Higher price vs pure hydraulic alternatives of equivalent tonnage

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Hybrid servo-hydraulic combines servo motor precision with hydraulic force amplification, achieving higher tonnage-per-motor-size than direct servo-electric drives. This makes hybrid drives more cost-effective at 80-200 ton capacities where direct-electric servo drives would require very large motors.
02
The AMNC 3i control supports both offline (via AP100US) and on-machine programming. Offline programming is most valuable in high-mix environments where programs can be prepared between batches, reducing machine downtime for setup.
03
The HG-8025 handles mild steel to approximately 8mm thick, stainless steel to 6mm, and aluminum to 10mm at full 80-ton capacity and 2500mm bending length. Capacity increases for shorter bending lengths.
